Hi everyone, I am so sorry I haven't been around so much lately. Its been beyond busy around here.
My visit last week with my sister was fine, I barely saw her. Then she and my nephew and his girlfriend came down on Sunday and we had a great time. She was on her best behavior (praise the Lord) and Dan and I feel in love with nephew's girlfriend and her son. I think she is perfect for him and her little boy clearly adores my nephew. It made me think of nephew at that age (this little boy is 8) and how much he adored the men my sister dated. I hope it works out, if not, I think that little boy will really be sad! My mom would have loved the girlfriend and her son, just another thing she is missing.
Today is ds' birthday, he is 14.
Where does time go? Its also my sister's birthday so the whole troop is coming over again tonight for dinner. I made healthy chili with extra lean beef and we are having pie. Ds prefers pie to cake!
I am going to weigh in on either Thursday or Friday. I have an appt. tomorrow and I know I won't make my meeting. This also gives me an extra day or two to burn off the piece of pie I know I will eat tonight!
Food over the weekend was lousy but I got back on track yesterday. Alhtough I did have a big lunch at Applebee's with stepdad. I picked him up at the airport and he offered to take me to lunch so obliged. Did I order off the Weight Watcher menu? Unfortunately not. I was stressed, he had been out to see his son and his wife, who after nine months of my mom being dead are still bound and determined to be angry at her, me, my brother and stepdad. LIstening to him describe the things they said was very upsetting. I really wish my brain and heart were like a computer, and I could hit "delete file" and just wipe them out of my life. It hurts to hear that stuff, its amazing they never were able to see anyone else's point of view. I know one thing, if I was lucky to have either of my parents at my home for a visit, the last thing I would waste my time doing is griping at them. He was upset and so was I. I listened but I may have to tell him that in the future I just can't hear those things anymore. And they wonder why I told them to NOT come to my mom's funeral. Idiots.
Well, enough of that, I moved on and drank plenty of water to flush out the salt and then had 0 point veggie soup for dinner.
I will only get in 3x per week of exercise, dh is working late getting ready for vacation, its been freezing cold and I have just been really busy. Not 100% valid excuses I know but I have done the best I can. At least I got in the 3 times, believe me it was a challenge! I have no idea what the scale will say, I was hoping to lose 10 pounds by WDW and it will probably be closer to 8. But I am okay with that. I need to catch up with all of you.
We leave in 4 days!
